Why Sony? Because Sony adds quality, value, and artistic
expression to the basic advantage of digital photography--not
just replacing film, but enhancing creative possibilities and
expanding technology horizons. The new Sony Cyber DSC-W50
camera combines high-resolution 6.0-megapixel performance and
compact design with the appeal of traditional rangefinder
shooting, so both first-time buyers and step-up photography
enthusiasts will have a camera that's equally adept at saving
their memories and capturing their vision. Quality, convenience,
and aesthetic excellence--they've been Sony advantages throughout
its 60-year leadership in consumer electronics.
Style, Simplicity, and Performance
The DSC-W50 combines sleek metal body and compact design with
new high-tech features for image quality and operating
convenience. Super-sharp 6.0-megapixel resolution delivers more
detail when you're cropping or making big prints. Carl Zeiss 3x
optical zoom lens and High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) combine to
produce sharp images even in low-light conditions. And Sony's
original Clear RAW NR processing circuitry minimizes the color
noise distortion of high-sensitivity shooting.
A Screen that Shows More
The extra-large 2.5-inch LCD screen of the DSC-W50 not only
gives you a big, bright image for setting up s and checking
results, it also displays a convenient camera Function Guide,
with text and icons for easy-to-operate features like color and
brightness adjustments, image size, flash and self-timer modes,
focusing modes and more. The DSC-W-50 even provides an eye-level
viewfinder for traditional shooting. Everything You Need for
Great Results
Despite its compact size, the DSC-W50 incorporates shooting
features every digital photographer wants--32 MB2 Internal Memory
for capturing images in-camera without a flash memory card,
built-in slot for optional Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo
media, and Stamina Lithium Ion battery with enough power to
capture up to 390 s3.
6.0-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
Higher megapixels gives you more detail and definition for
making large prints and cropping in on your subject. Sony's
advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows
more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and
reducing noise.
Extra-Large 2.5-Inch LCD Screen
The DSC-W50 has a bigger, brighter 2.5-inch LCD screen for
setting up and viewing images--with a one-touch "Play" button
that makes it quick and easy to view your photos.
Simple Controls, Function Guide
User-friendly controls and simple on-screen Function Guide
text/icon display help you set up camera functions for terrific
s--and you'll have greater creative freedom to adjust color
mode (including "Natural" for subtle colors and "Rich" for more
intense colors), sensitivity, brightness, and image size.
High Sensitivity Mode
A new High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) allows you to shoot with
great results in low-light conditions--and Sony's original Clear
RAW NR (Noise Reduction) image processing technology helps
suppress the color noise that can accompany high-senstivity
shooting.
Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/2x Digital Zoom
3x optical zoom helps the DSC-W50 bring distant subjects closer
and lets you frame s for better composition; Sony's precision
2x digital zoom provides an additional 2x magnification to
details without jagged edges.
Stamina Battery Power
With its powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, the DSC-W50
can capture up to 390 images--enough for a whole vacation. The
compact BC-CSG battery charger is also supplied for battery
recharging on the go.
13x Smart Zoom Feature
At VGA resolution, Sony's Smart Zoom feature intelligently
"crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo
without sacrificing full CCD resolution--avoiding the image
degradation of other digital zooms.
Capture Images In-Camera
With 32 MB of internal memory, the DSC-W50 allows you to shoot
without a flash memory card--then transfer your images to
optional Memory StickDuo media, upload to your computer, or make
prints on your digital printer.
Memory Stick Duo Media
The DSC-W50 has a built-in slot for optional Memory StickDuo or
higher-capacity Memory Stick PRO Duo media--the ultra-compact
media for shooting, storing, and sharing your photo images.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-W50 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at
high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited
only by the capacity of your media.
